-- All-American Family deaf family on TV
The "All-American Family" story will be shown on TV on
Monday, Nov. 23 on CNN Digital. It is about
the Eagles, an all-deaf football team. The story does
not mention California School for the Deaf but the
filming shows a very strong reference to that school,
especially of the Pedersen family tree. For a picture
of one of the football playing Pedersens:

-- deaf cannot run a business
Deaf cannot run a business? This was the thinking among many
people in the San Francisco area when Russell and Melody
Stein, both deaf, wanted to open a pizzeria (named
Mozzeria). The local government was not helpful when they
wanted to fill out paperwork on various permits. Hearing
customers thought the deaf cannot make great pizzas.
Hearing people even thought deaf cannot make pizza
deliveries by car! Fortunately, one by one these many
obstacles were overcome. An important hearing person
was a wine vendor who gave great advice on how to
run a restaurant.
-- texting and doing something else
Just today DeafDigest editor had an event that required
an interpreter. He did a great job interpreting the
event - but there was one shocker. He was texting
while interpreting! Hard to believe. Text and play
for the interpreter? No, he was worried about his
next interpreting assignment.
